What are you trying to do, get him to build a mall crawler? And for the record, because I know you'll notice it, I HATE the chrome grille overlay on my CJ, but it was there when I bought it.
Dave, I have a 78 CJ-7 with Dana 44s out of a Scout, a TPI Chevy 350, SM465 trans, and Dana 300 t-case. If seeing anything on my rig might help you, let me know, and I'll try to take good pix for you. Good luck with your build. Jeeps are a blast, and no real parts scrounging required.
Are you going to install a good cage and tie it in?
Yes, a rollcage is part of the plan. I'm going to have the same shop that built my Duster rollcage do one for my Jeep. I'm thinking of a bolt-in design that ties into the factory rear mounts, and ties into forward outriggers made of 2x3 tubing that are welded to the outsides of the frame rails beneath the dash.
And for the record, because I know you'll notice it, I HATE the chrome grille overlay on my CJ, but it was there when I bought it.
